Intertwine

Would we have met through a friend of a friend?
Cosmically planned or sheer circumstance?
Would you have seen me from across the room?
Or did the stars place me in your view?

Oh, I couldn't ignore it, shifted my orbit, swept me away
Now I'm better for it, life works in mysterious ways

I watched sunsets alone
Made out of stone
Now you move me to my core
The universe conspires
Turns embers to fires
Reveals in time
How we intertwine

What if we had crossed paths just two months shy?
Would you still be here tonight?
Packed to leave for the city, plans fickle and thin
In the face of divinity

Oh, in late November it's hard to remember who I was before
You changed the trajectory of what I had known

I watched sunsets alone
Made out of stone
Now you move me to my core
The universe conspires
Turns embers to fires
Reveals in time
How we intertwine

Every unwelcome swerve and twist of the hand
Signalled grander design
I can understand now, the seasons somehow
Had their own reasons and rhymes

All that went wrong for this to go right
Darkness led me to your light
You're the sun to my thunder
Rock when I'm under
Parachute from great heights

Watched sunsets alone
Made out of stone
Now you move me to my core
The universe conspires
Turns embers to fires
Reveals in time
How we intertwine

Watched sunsets alone
Made out of stone
Bless all that went wrong
Now you move me to my core
